  11. it seems that re-search-forward are not very efficient when i try to
  12. search a large database (sorted), probably it uses linear search.  are
  13. their any elisp codes floating around that does more efficient regex
  14. searching?  maybe using binary search or something like that?  thanks
  15. for any info.
